I know I'm in the vast minority here - and you can crucify me for saying this - but I hated this movie. Quintin Tarantino's movies require an acquired taste, and I guess I haven't acquired that taste yet. I found this utterly boring and quite annoying, actually.
So, most of the film is set in a warehouse. The Reservoir Dogs are a bunch of thieves. A Heist - which is not shown to the audience - went wrong, and now the thieves are trying to figure out which one of them is the "rat", who alerted the cops. They suspect one of them is an undercover cop, so the film sees the men talking, yelling, swearing, talking, yelling, swearing, talking, yelling, swearing...oh, whatever, I hated this! I swear, almost the entire movie revolved around these men arguing about who the rat is!! Ugh, enough already; this is so not my kind of entertainment!!
I mean, need I say more? There was nothing else happening here, and very little was actually shown to the audience. For most parts, the viewer had to envision what happened. I quickly loose interest in movies with too much dialogue. Add a couple of swear words in every single sentence and I'm tempted to hit the STOP button on my remote.
When they had that 5-minute conversation in the beginning of the movie about tipping in a restaurant, I should have stopped already. I don't normally enjoy neo-noir crime movies. Did I enjoy 'Reservoir Dogs'? Well, the answer to this is obvious: it's a resounding NO!!
